Here we are at Day 12 and I've decided to finish with another Christmas card.
I've tried to keep it simple but as usual added just one more leaf...then a few holly berries!!!
This is for my lovely friend Sally I hope she likes it!!

Supplies

Waltzing Mouse Stamps

Sizzix Tattered Leaves Die

Spellbinders Label Die

Brads

Embossing Powders

Distress Ink

I've really enjoyed the challenge to make something throughout December- it's done me a power of good to be creating, good for the soul you know?!
I hope you enjoyed my projects and don't forget to see what all the other Smudged and Smeared Bloggers have been creating this month!

I will of course be back next week on Wednesday with the Bombshell Blog Hop so I will see you then!!
All that's left to do is to wish you all a very Happy Christmas and a Peaceful New Year!
Love

Now I bet you’re all anticipating that this month’s challenge will have something to do with the Holidays. If so, you’d be Miss Staken, as it has NOTHING to do with the Holidays, whatsoever (that is unless YOU want it to). Want a hint? Here’s a little “word-association” glimpse into my creative psyche to guide y’all to our theme this month. This could be scary. Ready?
December – Christmas – Snow – Cold – Hot – Radiator – Steam – Punk (you with me?)…and that leads us to this month’s CHALLENGE…....“Hot and Steamy” – a Steampunk challenge.

I LOVE steampunk so I was very excited about this challenge.At first I did toy with turning the Ship from Homeward Bound into a flying steampunk vehicle but then decided to use Rose's Portrait instead !

I used clear shrink plastic to make the small cogs from the Tim Holtz Sizzix Die for Rose's hair and to decorate the card. My daughter thought Rose looked like the 'Eye patch lady' from the recent series of Doctor Who but I think Rose looks much kinder than her!

...and a QUICK Christmas card and look I've FINALLY managed clean and simple!
Normally when I try C&S I end up not liking the e,pty spaces and filling them with just one thing...then another...then another!!!

So I had fun getting inky with friends yesterday and I made this steampunk style tag! When I got to my crop I discovered that I'd left my Steampunk guys stamps from my Tim Holtz Steampunk Stamp set at home!!!

Smeared and Smudged 12 Days of Christmas Challenge-Day 4 and Tim's Tag day 6:
I have an admission I didn't like the painting on Tim's Tag yesterday - EEEK that feels like I'm committing a terrible sin to say that but I didn't! I DO however love using Ten Second Studio metal so here's my version of Tim's Tag:

OK so I saw Tim Holtz's tag and I haven't ANY of those items so I had to have a think!
I decided to use my gorgeous Waltzing Mouse stamps and Stampin ' Up inks for this one!
Here's what I have so far.....
